Dylan...also has some tissue box covers, AND you can see some other projects I work on while I have spare minutes during my day

Don't be jealous of my mad skillzzzzz

Damn! I'm envious as hell!!! My purse is so boring and plain compared to this! nice mad skilzzzzz stuff, too.

LOL, I remember my late GF saying it isn't a purse, its a pack thing when I was looking for mine and would ask where is my purse? Hell, I bought it at a purse place!

Stoney · 02-22-2010, 03:53 AM

I bet a purse wouldnt hurt my ass like my wallet does.....maybe Ill have to check into that...lol

back when I was married I tried to carry a purse... I lost it and left it places all the time, the last time i lost it was like 25 years ago and I still havent found it.

Galahad · 02-23-2010, 01:12 AM

Stoney, there is much to think about in your post.
Haircuts, my mom did mine, but she has Alzheimer's now, so I use a razor comb. I keep finding all this great stuff on the ground too. I am trying to put it in my organizer once a week, but invariably I carry it around another day or two. Why is it though with all the screws I find, I never have the one I need and have to go buy more? The Boobs thing, I think to myself "look at the face, no, do not go there, think of their brain, we love their brain,dammit,think brain". It's important to me because I hate it when people look at mine for whatever reason. Still they are so hard to ignore.
Dylan's purse looks just the right size to carry a brick.

I'mOneToo · 02-23-2010, 09:10 AM

I use a giant fanny pack. It's black pleather, and I wear it at an angle, and off to one side, reminiscent of a pirate. Or maybe it looks like a squirrel on a strap.

I'm quite comfortable with my wallet, even if it makes my ass look bigger. *grin* I do recall being about 18 and sneaking a six-pack into the movie theater the last time I carried a purse. Not a big fan of fanny packs but they are handy at times, like at an amusement park when you've got a million things to carry.
Dylan's stuff looks pretty dang cool

I'm here to clear up the butch vs femme nose blowing issue.

when Inks and I walk down the street with snotty noses... I daintily plug one nostral and blow a short quick hard *phneh!!!* and snot rocket out one side, then plug the other side and repeat. (this also works well on the bike when the circulation starts going and I don't wish a crusty jacket sleeve)

The first time I did this, Inks said "EW GROSS BARB." then showed me the propper, polite way to drain one's nostrals without a rag. she blew her nose into her hand and then flicked the slot off it with a snap of her wrist while swearing in dutch.

I prefer my way. My hand doesn't get manky. But I'm all delicate and girly like that.

Hi, i am Martina, and i am femme. i have three skirts and about six tops that i alternate among. On any given day, i wear the ones that are clean. i fuck femmes as well as butches. i can not do nails. Nor can i fix the car. If being a femme means you repair small engines in stilettos as so many of our threads seem to attest, then . . . .

It is not top secret that I have a HUGE crush on the Progressive Insurance Commerical Lady. She is so hot! I love her hairstyle! Look at those eyebrows! I would totally hit it!

I haven't done laundry in nearly 3 weeks. No, I am not lying. Yes, I really do own enough clothes that I can get away with that. Yes, I know it's gross. No, I do not give a shit. I'm considering hiring out for that, actually. I mean, I can't -afford- it or anything...but if there was a cage match between "having milk in the fridge" and "not having to do my own laundry" the latter would totally win.

I don't even own an iron. I refuse to buy anything that requires ironing. Ever. Not ironing my clothes reminds me of -my- mom.

So instead we could just go out and annoy people. Or get out dual-laptops and hijack threads and stuff.

how bout some feedback butches????

I just loved this entire post Stoney...you brought up some of the best thoughts! I am also curious about the eye contact thing. It's seemed to me that it's just always been so difficult for lesbians in general to make eye contact. Like if we look at each other something will happen, or people will "know" (like I give a flyin fuck if anyone knows!). but it is particularly noticable with butches I think...maybe that's because I am butch so that's the only real angle I have experienced it from. As I have gotten older I have made more of an effort to make the eye contact, and the normal little head nod that we all do. But it is a phenomena that I have always wondered about....anyone else got anything to say about the lack or avoidance of eye contact between us? What are we afraid of? Or what are we avoiding?

Jett · 04-27-2010, 10:23 AM

Hmmm, I haven't noticed it like that MB, running into other butches usually elicits a glance w/ enough eye contact for the slightest smile and brief head nod from both sides.

And w/ other lesbian types actually I can usually tell they're lesbians (maybe) by the pro-longed eye contact w/ that "smiling eyes" look thing on their face...

Maybe you're looking away to soon? Or maybe I'm not looking away soon enough... lol.

Yes, I have always found it weird when I come across a butch who avoids eye contact with me. When we do have eye contact, the head nod thing happens.

I have wondered if the butch type person that avoids my gaze is the kind of butch who avoids eye contact with EVERYONE (so as to not get that look of disgust we can get), and so when hy/she sees me out of the corner of hys eye hy just assumes me to be male. Subsequently, no "butch nod" occurs.

Don't know, but the above was a thought that came to me once...

Andrew, Jr. · 04-27-2010, 07:06 PM

When in public I acknowledge anyone who acknowledges me. It can be a head shake, or a hand shake. I always make eye contact with people. It is other people who have the issue with responding back to me. They have no idea of what I am (is that a boy or a girl attitude). I think we all go thru that pretty much. We just have to be who we are, and hold our heads high.
